What Smiles and Sunshine Have In Common

Smiles and sunshine have a lot in common. They both can lift our spirits, they both radiate inner warmth and they both have the power to transform someone's day.


Do you smile often?
This may seem like a strange question....but ask yourself when was the last time you smiled just for the sake of smiling.


Do you smile from your heart?
Smiles from the heart are the ones that come when you see a mother and child laughing and snuggling or an elderly couple out walking hand in hand, or when you see your most favorite person in the world or when you see a dog out playing in the snow. Those smiles are of extra value because they feel so darn good. They come up from inside you and splash onto your face for the world to see. Those smiles are contagious and hard not to respond to with a similar smile. Much like a bright and sunny day those smiles can not only change your mood or someone else's.... those smiles can make a difference in the world and those smiles increase your health!


If you need to increase your smile factor...just do it...smile, smile and smile some more...smile until your cheeks hurt. Just make sure you are showing the world one of humankind's greatest gifts...the gift of your smile!
